Hipsettlementfund.com Handles Defective Hip Cases Nationwide

A multidistrict litigation (MDL) has been established for lawsuits alleging injuries from the Smith & Nephew Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) metal-on-metal hip implant. MDLs are a type of mass tort used to make complex litigation proceed faster and more efficiently. Lawsuits are consolidated when they share common questions of fact; the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) transfers these lawsuits to one court before one judge. An MDL moves towards quicker resolution because it eliminates the need for duplicate pretrial processes, such as the discovery phase.
